Roof Sheathing

The Importance of Professional Roof Sheathing Installation

Roof sheathing provides the main protection and insulation of your home or office. The stages and assorted materials used for sheathing a roof vary between different roofing styles, yet there are some common mistakes made that are generic among unprofessional or inexperienced roofers. Such mistakes include:

Insufficient fastening of roof sheathing – this can lead to the collapse of a building during windstorm.

Not differentiating between coastal and non-coastal fastener requirements.

Attaching sheathing upside-down

Not aligning the roof sheathing perpendicular to roof rafters as required, but parallel to roof edging.

Panels of not meeting in truss and/or rafter center

For these reasons and more, it is highly recommended that you hire a roof sheathing expert or experienced roofing contractor - Roof 101 offers professional roof sheathing of all kinds, and caters for all roofing types.

Different Roof Sheeting Materials

As already outlined, roof sheeting is available in a variety of materials. While some pose certain advantages over other materials, others may simply be most suited to your existing roofing design and style. Corrugated plastic roof sheets are the most common form of roof sheathing for efficient drainage and easy installation. Contrastingly, polycarbonate roof sheeting is also available as a corrugated roofing material, and contains the important feature of reflecting heat transmission. Both corrugated plastic roof sheets and polycarbonate roof sheeting are considered quality materials, yet can be purchased in a range of thicknesses and at different quality levels.
